<div class="subscriber-preview">
<p>VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV met Monday with one of the most prominent advocates for greater LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Catholic Church and encouraged his ministry, sending a strong signal of <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pope-francis-lgbtq-community-catholic-church-7ec2ddb2e9e94382c4a1365a57d72a88">welcome</a> in the early months of his pontificate.</p>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-preview">
<p>The Rev. James Martin, a New York-based Jesuit author and editor, said Leo told him he intended to continue Pope Francis’ policy of LGBTQ+ acceptance in the church and encouraged him to keep up his advocacy.</p>
</div>
<div class="subscriber-only">
<p>“I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people,” Martin told The Associated Press after the audience. “It was wonderful. It was very consoling and very encouraging and frankly a lot of fun.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The ruling is a major setback for transgender rights, with more than 20 states having enacted laws similar to Tennessee&#8217;s.</strong></p>
<p class="body-graf">WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a Tennessee law restricting gender transition care for minors, delivering a major blow to transgender rights.</p>
<p class="body-graf">The 6-3 ruling is likely to have a <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/transgender-health-care-supreme-court-decision-rcna182008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broad impact </a>as <a href="https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/healthcare/youth_medical_care_bans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">24 other</a> <a href="https://www.lgbtmap.org/equality-maps/healthcare/youth_medical_care_bans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> have already enacted laws similar to the one in Tennessee, which bars gender transition surgery, puberty blockers and hormone therapy for youth.</p>
<p class="body-graf">Those laws now look set to survive similar legal challenges. The ruling does not affect states that do not have such bans, meaning care in those states will still be available.</p>
<p class="body-graf">The court was divided on ideological lines, with the six conservatives in the majority and the three liberals in dissent.</p>
